2008 Mildmay Regional Award Winner

Sunrise Produce - Simcoe County

The chips are never down at Sunrise Produce. The farm's experienced
potato breeders and growers, Peter and Carla VanderZaag, have developed
three new potato varieties that can be made into the popular snack
all year-round. Most other chipping varieties maintain their quality
for only two to three months. The three innovative potato lines
can be processed any time, from the moment they are placed in storage
until the following summer. The new varieties were officially registered
in 2007 and have been adopted by other producers. Last year, 300
acres of the new varieties were grown in Ontario. There is significant
market growth potential for these potatoes, including in the U.S.
